Ok, I did it… I have ordered a RaspBee. It seems to me a cheap all-in-one solution.
As far as I have seen the solution seems to be pretty solid. The rest-api appears to be well documented. Besides that, the supplied software deConz can be directly connected (swedish guide) to home assistant using the hue config.
As I’ve seen on the homebridge github page of ebaauw a lot of devices are supported already. Even more are added daily. His bridge connects the zigbee devices trough a emulated homekit bridge. So his list of sensors are known to be working with the current release.
It support for the following sensors:
- Hue motion sensor (1,2),
- IKEA Trådfri motion sensor (2),
- Xiaomi Aqara weather sensor (2),
- Xiaomi Aqara door/window sensor (2),
- Xiaomi Aqara motion sensor (2),
- Xiaomi Mi temperature/humidity sensor (2),
- Xiaomi Mi door/window sensor (2),
- Built-in Daylight sensor (1),
- CLIP sensors: Presence, LightLevel, Temperature, Humidity, Pressure (2), OpenClose,
- Writeable CLIP sensors: GenericFlag, GenericStatus;
It support for the following switches:
- Hue dimmer switch (1,2),
- Hue tap (1,2),
- IKEA Trådfri remote (2),
- Xiaomi Aqara smart wireless switch (2),
- Xiaomi Mi wireless switch (2),
- Xiaomi Mi smart cube (2),
- Hue bridge link button (1);
It support for the following lights:
- Philips Hue lights (1,2),
- ZigBee Light Link (ZLL) lights from other manufacturers (1,2).
- ZigBee Home Automation (ZHA) lights (2),
- ZigBee 3.0 lights (2);
I’ve never programmed a single line in Python so I realy have no clue where to begin, but I’m pretty sure that with some help of the HA community it will work!
It would be nice to know if some other members already bought this ConBee / RasBee, I know @DariBer has one (do you like it?).
Good news, the Tradfri is supported already!
It actually does. They even got the new smartcube working already!
Do you have any Xiaomi sensors or switches? what happens if you just connect HA using the Swedish guide (use google translate)
@donnib did you received it yet? did some testing already?
@abmantis … did you made up your mind yet?
@touliloup … while the kickstart campain cannot be backed anymore I’ve ordered this module
